Nusantara (Indonesian pronunciation: [nusanˈtara]), officially the Capital City of Nusantara (Indonesian: Ibu Kota Nusantara), is the future capital of Indonesia, set to be inaugurated in August 2024 with celebrations of the country's national day. The planned city will replace Jakarta, the national capital since 1945. Located on the east coast of the island of Borneo in what is currently part of the province of East Kalimantan, the city is expected to encompass an area of 2,560 km2 (990 sq mi), featuring a hilly landscape, forest, and a bay. Nusantara is expected to be formed as a new province splitting from East Kalimantan, similar to that of the capital region of Jakarta. Construction of Nusantara started in July 2022, clearing land and laying down access roads, with construction of the first phase—Government Central Area zone, comprising government offices, schools, hospitals and shopping malls—beginning the following month. Initially, 100,000 workers from all over Indonesia will be sent to the Nusantara location to begin construction by July 2022. After being criticized by local mass organizations from East Kalimantan for importing workers from outside the province, President Joko Widodo ordered Nusantara Capital City Authority to multiply the workers to between 150,000 and 200,000 workers to ensure participation of local workers for work in Nusantara construction.
